The forest that surrounded me was like the Garden of Eden benefiting to all the inhabitants. The water on top of the leaves stayed there until a strong breeze wooshed by and rhythmically dropping on the forest floor. The treetops represents Atlas, carrying all the weight of the damp leaves on its trunk. The sun rising in the distance ahead was crafted beautifully by Vulcan, setting the sky on fire that warmed the air. The car passing, Brutus, betrayed the natural silence of the growing forest, The

Pacific gray whales have been going extinct for a while, not only these gray whales, but pacific whale and Atlantic gray whales have been going extinct.Scientist have been keeping their minds open to the idea of crossbreeding this species together. And with newly found research on their migration patterns they have some new progress. Scientist are always trying to save endangered species that are dying from human causes or just the species own genetic diversity.The pacific whales and their other

era, about 10.000 years ago, nomadic groups were know scavenge, hunt, fish, and gather plants in an neverending search for food. It all ended when they learned how to plant native grasses (grains) and developed agriculture. The latter requires a commitment to land and definitely grants a steady food supply, enabling people to form permanent settlements, which was a first at that point in time. The Cannabis plant often came in contact with Neolithic bands, as it invaded the fertile clearings (such

fortnightly basis and joined with effective sanitation. The costs of doing this might be too much for some conservation groups. A more appropriate method might be to further study self-medication in primates. Zoopharmacognosy describes the use of plants by animals that can act as medicine. Chimpanzee have been heavily studied, on the reduction of parasites (Moscovice et al 2007), the digestion of pith could be an adaption of decreasing the amount of Oesophagostomum infections. Furthermore geophagy

ife began on earth about 3.5 to 4 billion years ago, since then it has evolved and flourished. Within the kingdom Animalia, it alone consists of 35 phyla. Two of which are Onychophora and Annelida. Onychophora are believed to be a possible link between two phylums of Annelids and Arthropods as it carries characteristics of both groups. This essay seeks to compare and contrast between the earthworms from phylum Annelida and the velvet worms from phylum Onychophora. Internal Velvet worms and earthworms

can add character to our living space. While this works in most cases but majority of times, the place only needs a burst of fresh color. This can easily be handled by painting the place, adding a few character pieces and a pot of a bright flowering plant. Hence you can save hundreds of dollars by putting in just a little effort. Container gardening is not simply limited to indoor decorative purposes. In addition, it can be quite practical as well. We often find, elderly people complaining about the

Jimi Underwood 10.24.2014 PLNT 5412 Proposal for Blue Grama Breeding Program Introduction Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of North American native grasses for the use as a turfgrass and as ornamental grass. Multiple reasons exist for this interest; among them are the perceived lack of invasiveness (as compared to other introduced species), their existing adaptation to the climatic conditions of specific locations, and even the maintenance and storage of the germplasm (Watkins

Two million years ago, there were three killer on the top of the food chain, they were Titan birds, saber-toothed tigers and wolves. The titan birds and saber-toothed tigers are much bigger and stronger than wolves, but they disappeared in this world. They don’t have social, they live alone. They can’t protect their children when they hunt, and they don’t know how to save food. Wolves always fight as a team. Their million years experience tells them 5-10 wolves is the best number in a team. They

“Mystery Compound Found to Kill Coho Salmon”, an article by Christopher Dunagan, emphasizes the negative impact of stormwater runoff on different types of fish in the river, specifically coho salmon. It’s proven by scientists that polluted stormwater runoff contains pollutants that kill coho salmon. Pre-spawn mortality in female coho salmon was noticed in rivers when high numbers died before giving birth, especially during times right after a rush of fresh stormwater. Scientists concluded that toxic
